Ubuntu – How to setup Canon InkJet Pixma IP 1300

12.1064-bitcanonpixmaprinting

I am unable to setup Canon InkJet Pixma IP 1300 on Quantal AMD64. The things I have tried:

Shut down and disconnect the printer before installing packages.
Added the ppa:michael-gruz/canon repository to synaptic and installed the cnijfilter-pixmaip1000series package (there is no package for 1300 so I installed the nearest one). The PPA repository does not have packages for Quantal, so had to manually update the repository definition to "Oneiric" and refreshed it before downloading.
Restarted cups via sudo service cups restart.
Connected and switched on the printer.
Opened All Settings -> Printers to Add a printer. There are 2 entries – One for the Standard USB Printer, another for "USB Printer – With Status Readback for Canon IJ" with Device URL as cnijusb:/dev/usb/lp1. Have selected this as per direction in Ubuntu Community Forum.
For manually entering a .ppd file I select /usr/share/cups/model/cnpixmaip1000.ppd.

ERROR MESSAGE : Failed to read PPD file. Possible reason follows:
/usr/share/cups/model/cnpixmaip1000.ppd: FAIL*FAIL* Unable to open PPD file – No such file or directory on line 0.
On checking I find that cnpixmaip1000.ppd file in /usr/share/cups/model is a symbolic link pointing to /usr/share/ppd/cnpixmaip1000.ppd.

However the later file does not exist. There are no other ppd files installed.

PS: Printing works fine with the shareware TurboPrint for Linux. So, there's nothing wrong with the printer.

Just installed the same printer on Quantal 32bit edition (canon pixma IP1300).... These are the steps you should try:

1) Add repo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-stable

2) Remove the printer installed in cups. And disconnect the printer.

3) sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2200series

4) restart cups:

sudo service cups restart

5) chose printer ppd driver when installing the printer:

/usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd

6) print test page > succes.

Hope i helped you.

Ubuntu – Installing Canon ip2600 printer drivers on ubuntu 12.10

After updating to Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit), I got my Canon ip2600 printer to work with the canon-trunk repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2600series

Before that, I also tried the Gutenprint driver, which installed fine, but still no reaction from the printer.

Ubuntu – Install Canon MP560 Ubuntu 15.04

Ubuntu 15.04 seems to be not supported by this PPA – the latest change was from 2014-06-23.

But you can download the matching packages from launchpad and try to install them manually.

As there seems to be no native 64 bit drivers support, you need to add the 32 bit architecture :

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  
sudo apt-get update

Download and install the driver for Canon PIXMA MP560 printer - printing functionality :

wget https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon-trunk/+files/cnijfilter-common-32_3.90-76~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common-32_3.90-76~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb  

wget https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon-trunk/+files/cnijfilter-mp560series-32_3.90-76~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-mp560series-32_3.90-76~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb

Download and install the driver for Canon PIXMA MP560 printer - scanning functionality :

wget https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon-trunk/+files/scangearmp-common-32_2.10-33~precise1_amd64.deb  
sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-common-32_2.10-33~precise1_amd64.deb

wget  https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon-trunk/+files/scangearmp-mp560series-32_2.10-33~precise1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-mp560series-32_2.10-33~precise1_amd64.deb

Alternatively download the original drivers from Canon Asia website and install them manually :

Canon MP560 series IJ Printer Driver Version 3.20 for Linux (debian package archive)

Download location : http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100236502.html

Extract the archive and install the packages by executing :

sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.20-1_i386.deb  
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-mp560series_3.20-1_i386.deb

Canon MP560 series ScanGear MP Version 1.40 for Linux (debian package archive)

Download location : http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100237802.html

Extract the archive and install the packages by executing :

sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-common_1.40-1_i386.deb   
sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-mp560series_1.40-1_i386.deb

Sometimes it even works to select another printer from Printers setup in System Settings.
